SETTLEMENTS Instant Builds and Quests is a No Man's Sky mod that removes build timers and quest wait times for settlements, while still requiring material costs unless you enable free crafting in difficulty settings. It's a simple drop-in mod for players who want to skip the grind.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Saves you from the annoying settlement grind – no more waiting for timers
- Simple install: just drop into the MODS folder, no mod manager needed
- Flexible – you can still pay costs or switch to free crafting in difficulty settings
⚠️ Cons
- Only 147 endorsements – not a huge community following, so support is limited
- Last updated August 2025 – may break with future game updates, so keep an eye on it
- No detailed documentation beyond the install path – you're on your own if issues arise
For No Man's Sky players who find settlement building tedious and want to skip the wait times without removing the cost mechanic. Also good for builders who want to speed up their base progression. Skip if you enjoy the time-gated gameplay or want a more comprehensive settlement overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you create the MODS folder in GAMEDATA if it doesn't exist – the mod won't work otherwise.
- If you want free building, go to Options > Difficulty Settings > Crafting and Items and set it to FREE – the mod still respects that.
- Check the video tutorial linked in the description for a visual guide on installation and the free build option.
